how can I fix my leaking Zanussi FJS 1397W washing machine?

I have a 3yr old Zanussi FJS1397W washing machine which has started to leak during wash cycles. At the end of a wash cycle there is now a considerable ammount of clean water underneath the machine.
All the obvious pipes and filters have been checked.
Any suggestions please.Philip Watson

Philip, I'm on here with a similar problem - what I did was to dry the floor then put newspaper under the machine, and run it. I checked regularly and found where the water was first appearing - the door seal in my case (I hadn't noticed the trickle down the front, duh!). Hope that helps.

check there no splits in door seal or drain/sump hose's underneath
